| So I got a journal book for myself yesterday. I figure it is still better to do journal in the old school fashion. I want to start journaling my life and my spiritual walk so they will hopefully become more fruitful and eventful.
Xanga is cool, but not cool enough. Old school is the way to go.
However, I still want to give people an update of myself. I'm on summer break and it's been fun so far. Self learning is probably one of the primary objectives to me in this summer.
I'm looking forward to learning how to cook a lot of dishes from my mom, how to do some basic webpage designing, and how to play some real jazz piano.
Summer break is God's blessing. I can't ask for more.

| Today my parents took off to Michigan to attend a pastor retreat. They're staying there until Wednesday afternoon. So guys, let's party!...or not. I'm not really in a party mode.
I just happen to have a busier week this week. Need to finish two little MATLAB programs and read what I need to read that thick book.
So, home alone is no fun. I have to cook/ heat up my own dinner. And because I can't really cook, my mom stored a bunch of noodles and dumplings in the fridge for me. Sigh. I'm sure that I'll get sick of them soon enough before they come back.
I watched a movie last night called "Serenity". A sci-fi flick that has no famous stars in it. The story and the CGI are both quite good. The only thing I don't like about it is that they tried to use a lot of Chinese and Japenese dialogues in their conversations, since it's assuming in the future and the global cultures are all mixed together. That should be fine. But it gets stupid because those white people obviously didn't go to Chinese school. I could only understand half of the things they were saying when they spoke Chinese. And I laughed when I understand because those things were really quite dumb.

| Just came back from my first exercise since year 2006. It's finally spring. Every year I've been waiting for this time to come. The grammar looks wrong.
Chicago is really too cold for me. The longer I live here the more I feel that the winter here is depressing and inconvenient, and boring. Maybe that's how we can really appreciate spring and summer. But still, the price is too high to pay.
Anyway. Today I went shooting basketball with my dad. It didn't go very well, though. First of all our ball was too flat even after my dad tried to pump it up. After we got there, the court was taken; one side by a bunch of high school bullies, and one side by a mom and her daughter who didn't look like they know how to play basketball. So we went back to the car and went to another court but that one has no nets, and the floor was very unsatisfying. We ended up just shooting whatever and realizing how out of shape we are.
It was a good start, though. At least for today I didn't waste the sunshine.
Oh thanks guys for providing ways to buy that book from the bookstore. Later I've found more stuff on "books 24x7" which let me to read some online textbooks. So I'm good now. I appreciate it, though.
Did you read the news? A Malaysian man recently got a $218 trillion phone bill.
Trillion?

| I shed some tears tonight.
You might think I did that because of the terrible game Bulls had. Wrong. That was pretty painful to watch. So I switched the channels around and I ended up watching Saving Private Ryan again. I was in high school when I first saw it at a theater in Taiwan and didn't have chance to watch it again. What can I say? The movie proved itself to be such a classic. I felt like this is my first time watching it because it was still so powerful after years. I only catched the second half of the movie and I miss the Vin Diesel part, but I guess that was ok.
The Bulls were shooting at what, 25% or something? Horrible horrible game.
